"(We're here)" said Crow

????? ????? "Geh! (Great! I survived!)" The Geist hopped off of Crow's back with his ever present smile just a bit wider and then looked around There, he saw the confused looks of not just his troll friend, but several other trolls

"(Looks like your guess was right)" commented Crow

"Geh! (There you are, troll!)" said the Geist as he pointed to a troll that was particularly bigger than the others

"(What you corunts and growls that eh (To check up on you Also, youat the other trolls They warily stared at the Geist and especially at Crow's large, loo form

"(It's OK These all ather more trolls to look for flowers I think I seen soo find them We find one already, actually)""

The troll chieftain grunted, and one of the trolls under him showed an Eyeflower

"Geh…(So that's what it is)" said the Geist

The flower consisted of a long, tendril-like purple stalk with a bulbous, closed eye attached at the end of it When the troll poked the eye, the flesh opened up, revealing a wide and dilated red pupil

"Geh…(About that…)" The Geist put his hands together like a conning salesive me the flowers?)"

The troll chieftain cocked his head, confused "(Huh?)"

The Geist explained "Gehgehgeh Geh! (You'll have to fight the strong guys otherwise, but I can pick all the flowers, and then I'll be co really nice for you all!)

"Gehgeh (I HAVE made some iive you flowers)" said the troll chieftain He pointed at the Geist with a ser than hting allowed!)" protested the Geist

The troll chieftain laughed "(We keep it a secret nobody come here because they don't like it Bad smells and bad food, they say But trolls like us love it

The chieftain grunted, and one of the trolls brought him his cursed rock club The club alternated between owners, so it, but this tirabbed the club in both hands and sht! I want to see how much you improve, friend!)"

The Geist's per too s together with theht

Plus, the Geist could get all the flowers the trolls knew to pick

"Gehgeh! (Okay, let's fight!)" said the Geist

Beforehand, when the Geist first met the troll chieftain, they were mostly evenly matched when the chieftain wielded the club The Geist was a little stronger, but the difference was not extre he had done under Stella?
